I really admire the way you combined science and religion into a poem to create harmony between two clashing forces. I have to admit that I did have to look a few of the words up, yet that doesn't stop this poem from being beautiful. I also want to say the concept of this piece was fabulous and the way you described it, particularly in the last stanza, was just as fantastic too. "But now I no longer feel like praying the chromosomes like rosary beads,instead I acknowledge that each gene should be loved unvaryingly" - That has to be the best part of the poem, in my opinion. Bravo.

There's something about acknowledging the past and then letting go in this poem that I like a great deal. Am I right in thinking that there is also something about letting go of someone else's past that keeps trying to control your now?
